that remain to be done the text will he written by Mr. 

 Bowdler Sliarpe of the British Museum, who edited for the 

 author the letterpress of the two parts already pul;lished by 

 Mr. Gould ; and the whole of the work will be under the 

 supervision of Mr. Osbert Salvin, who has generously pro- 

 mised his cooperation. 



"It should be stated that the second part, containing ten 

 plates, is issued as intended by Mr. Gould ; but the three 

 remaining numbers of the work will contain descriptions of 

 at least thirty species, with a larger number of plates than 

 has hitherto been published. This will entail considerable 

 pecuniary loss to us ; but we trust that it will be received by 

 the subscribers as evidence that we are prepared to sustain, 

 at any cost, the high reputation of Mr. Gould^s publications; 

 and we may further add that the plates will be drawn, as 

 heretofore, by Mr. Hart, and coloured by the same staff as 

 in Mr. Gould^s lifetime." 



The following is a list of the species figured in Part II. : — 



Eusteplianus leyboldi. Doricha IjTura. 



fernandensis. bryantse.
